The game (at least the demo) doesn't start, because it assumes 1) gksudo is installed 2) the user that runs Steam is in /etc/sudoers 3) that I would give some game script the go to run with root privileges on my machine 4) that 32-bit libs are installed through a package called ia32-libs on a 64-bit system, which is not the case on any modern distribution.

The executable is also not properly linked with DT_RUNPATH and $ORIGIN, which is why the game needs a startup script with LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the first place.

Works fine for most even if they have to do a startup script, the main game (this is a standalone expansion) is one of the best games on Linux full stop in my opinion. Your really missing out if your too lazy to fix it. They are making a second one and I am sure the port will be much better, they are a very small, very busy team.

Plus, I am not too lazy. As you can see from my initial post I even looked into what the problems are. I am totally capable of "fixing" this in a matter of minutes. But I don't want to. I do not buy broken products just to fix them myself. You wouldn't buy a car that you need to fix before you can drive it, would you?

And last but not least, I didn't write this comment to get your oppinion but to give the developers a hint. Assuming they even read in the Steam forums, which seems unlikely.
